Communications Device and Method

7. The communications device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the message includes parameters N and M, which represent N resource blocks in time and M resource blocks in frequency of the blocks of the shared communications resources.

8. The communications device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the message includes an identifier of an other communications device which transmitted the scheduling assignment message.

9. The communications device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more other communications devices form a group, and the message includes an identifier of the group including a communications device which transmitted the message.

10. The communications device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the message includes information identifying the type of information which will be sent in the shared resources.

16. The circuitry as claimed in claim 3, wherein the message includes parameters N and M, which represent N resource blocks in time and M resource blocks in frequency of the blocks of the shared communications resources.

17. The circuitry as claimed in claim 3, wherein the message includes an identifier of an other communications device which transmitted the scheduling assignment message.

18. The circuitry as claimed in claim 3, wherein the one or more other communications devices form a group, and the message includes an identifier of the group including a communications device which transmitted the message.

19. The communications device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the message includes one or more of an identifier of the transmitting communications device, an identifier of the destination device or devices, a logical channel identifier, transport channel identifier, and application identifier, and an identifier of the group of communications devices depending upon the application.
